I had a CFI friend once ask me why I wanted to go to Skywest because they paid $22/hour when Republic paid $24/hour. I pointed out that 2nd year pay at Skywest was $37.50 and 2nd year pay at Republic was $29. He had no idea because it never occurred to him to think past first year.
Every new FO can tell me the first year pay at nearly every regional. I've rarely ever met a new FO who can tell me the captain pay or top out FO pay at any regional.

What do we do when TSA is seeing 3+ hour lines because they decreased staffing? That's right send more (of the lowest risk) people into the line!

So it's basically a wash is what it sounds like.
Thanks for the answers! I've been a 135 guy my whole career and I've been looking to get some 121 time and I'm just trying to figure out realistic financials.

At that point, management has the pilot group by the b.... and they get away with lots of things that wouldn't fly in other industries.
Either way, I wouldn't worry so much about bonus, first year pay vs. second year pay etc.
I would pick a 121 carrier based on whether you can live in base and for how long you would be on reserve....

And that's why I was asking about the bonus and if it was a yearly deal or not. Seems odd to me that you could actually be making less money after your first year, but I guess whatever gets them in the tent, right?

No problem, to be conservative , whatever you make per hour x 1000 is what your income will be. I would recommend the CRJ for holding a line, the ERJ is a ? For when you'll hold a line , the over ride helps a little 2nd year. When researching pay you have to research the contract too, it's far deeper than hourly rate, some places don't have cancellation pay or don't pay 100% for deadheads.
